Hi Dale-- I actually hardly drink at all. Some wine sometimes if eating out in a social context, a beer here and there in the summer, and that's about it. I was serious, however, when I said that it wouldn't have hurt if I had prepared myself from time to time. About the infidel thing, that is unfortunately how I feel at the current time. I like my religion (Jewish). I like the culture, food, history, and traditions of celebrating the holidays, but have come to believe that the belief in God is actually optional. I had gone to God and prayed often and intensely, but was ultimately let down in the most painful way. I've heard all the lines like "God had other plans" etc, but I don't buy that. I just wanted you to know that I'm not a wild guy, or one who likes to get drunk to get drunk. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Have a happy and especially healthy new year.

I like the spec: all you need and an elegant colour combo. I was borderline on M-DCT vs 6MT. I'm glad I got MT but there's days - like when I was so busy accelerating in overtaking that I was in the 'red' in 2nd for too long (2nd time that's happened) - that I miss the fire-n-forget option one has w/ M-DCT; jist focus on the road and cars around rather than the tach. But when I get series of quick changes just right, well, that makes me beam.
